...of the child that has put the most disgusting thing imaginable in her mouth.

Went on a trip to Hot Springs to visit some friends, and I brought a friend to tag along since I'm scared to be alone in a hotel. Well the majority of my buddies smoke so we were outside a lot so they could catch cancer. I was playing cigarette butt keep away from Winter Rose for a while till she moved on to rocks.

"Oh, good, a break. Get your minerals, sweetie." And I sat my pregnant self in a chair. Winter comes up to me about 5 minutes later looking particularly curious and grossed out by whatever was in her mouth. "Let me have it!" And I take it from her.

I notice something around her chin, all smeared around. I look down at what she took a hunk out of... it had legs, and they were a kicking! "Eww! It's a tick! Jamie, your yard has ticks! What is this?! What is this in her mouth? Is it human? Is it dog blood?! You just had to smoke! Right now! You just got done smoking 30 minutes ago! We're out with the wild animals cause you can't control yourself for an hour! Your house is ******* baby proofed, but we couldn't possibly stay in there for just a little bit?!"

So I win. I can't imagine anything much worse than taking a bite out of a fat tick. My other child has had poop up her nose. Still not as grotesque.

oh no!!! lol that is yucky! my sisters daughter has had worse in her mouth. my sister wasnt the best mother in the world hence why my parents now have her two kids. i would come home from work or school and one time found her daughter with a used tampon applicator in her mouth! another day both her kids were sharing my brothers deodorant stick licking it like a lollipop. and the worst of all i wake up one morning and go into my sisters room to get her daughter because i would always take care of them, my sister is in her bed sleeping and her daughter was sucking on something i quickly realized what was in her mouth and started screaming at my sister, it was a douche, with the solution or whatever that stuff was in it. i almost barfed.

Lol Alice has just tried poop, but that is so common in childcare it didn't faze me much.

I think one of the worst cases of pica I had seen was from a neglected little girl a coworker was adopting. I won't say what it was she ate, but her adopted mother actually did blow chunks! Lol Neglect from her biological mother made her develop pica.

Ewww that is SO gross! I hate ticks! We found a couple on our floor last Summer (brought in by our dog) and when DD was about 4 months I was changing her diaper at our cabin and there was a tick crawling on her leg, probably trying to latch on-ick!
